They don’t have the money so I’d bet the field.

If they did find a way to sign him, he would instantly crater and be horrible contract that would cripple them for years.

Or he’d get hurt and have the same net effect.

Bottom line is it’s the Reds. You can bet your last dollar on failure.

Cal Raleigh got fucked over by the Yankmee/East Coast bias.

You're never going to see another season like that from a catcher. Aaron Judge was a subpar Right Fielder who played 50+ games at DH. The seasons aren't remotely the same and yeah batting average as an argument against a friggin catcher with 1100+ chances and no passed balls is fucking moronic.

Nah. Raleigh hit 7 more homers and had 11 more RBI, but Judge was 100 points better on BA, OBP, and SLG and 200 points better on OPS. 9.7 WAR vs 7.4. Judge’s numbers are unreal.
